Oscar winner Forest Whitaker made a successful stop in Montgomery yesterday to support Barack Obama.
He was joined in support of Obama and a host of local boosters by Sharon Pratt, former mayor of WashingÂton. About 120 people showed up for the event at the ObaÂma campaign headquarters on Zelda Road.
Local politicians, state Sen. Quinton Ross Jr., D-Montgomery, and MontgomÂery County Circuit Judge Johnny Hardwick, who were previously uncommitted, also announced their enÂdorsement of the Illinois senÂator.
“I am proud to stand here during this time in history, a time that will change AmeriÂca and the world,” Whitaker said to raucous cheers from the crowd. “I was just in Washington and it occurred to me that Barack Obama is going to be our next presiÂdent, and that Washington would be his hometown.”
I was a bit surprised to note that Sen. Ross Jr. had not offered his endorsement before now, but glad to see that he did it yesterday.
